lyrics

I was the rightful son of the Eastern plains
Formed from the earth and stone and shaped by the wind and rain
I laid a chiefdom down a thousand long days wide
To the farthest outpost where the earth and sky collide

And the spirits whispered to me in the deepest night
Until I crossed the dividing line between the dark and light
Now my tomb is in the hill, it lies in plain sight
As the wanderers and worker drones tread on this land of mine
All will change and all will stay the same

My human face and form have long decayed
My name is lost to time, the story has been sealed away
And for this second time I’ll die, the night has gotten late
Thought and memory are gone, we all disintegrate
